This invention relates to plows and has for one of its objects toimprove the construction and increase the eiiiciency and utility withoutmaterial increase of expense or weight. 7

Another object of the invention is to pro-' duce an attachment which maybe adapted without material structural change to plows of various formsand whereby the steadiness or the plow is increased and means providedfor enabling a person to operate a single stock plow equally as easilyas a turning plow.

With these and other objects in view, the invention consists in certainnovel features of construction as hereinafter shown and described andthen specifically pointed out in the claim, and in the drawingsillustrative oi? the preferred embodiment of the in vention.

Figure 1 is a side elevation of a portion of a conventional plowincluding the beam and standard with the improvement applied. I

Fig. 2 is a front elevation of the parts shown in Fig. 1, with theshovel removed and the beam in transverse section.

A portion or" the beam is represented at 10, and the standard at 11, thelatter formed in two portions in spaced relation bearing upon oppositesidesof the beam and clamped thereto by bolts 12 and 13 and connected attheir JOVQT ends by a foot member 1 1.

A brace 15 connects the standard to the beam at the rear of the bolts 12and 13, as shown.

or bearing shoe 2t) is detachablycoupled to rations 22, andpivoted at 23in one of these perforations is a link 26%. At its upper end the link isformed with a forwardly directed slotted extension 25 through which theclamp bolt 13 passes, as shown.

The shovel is represented at 26 and secured in the usual manner to thebeam memhere by a clamp bolt 27, the shovel not being shown in Fig. 2,as it would obscure the arms 17, 18, 19 and the shoe 20.

By means of this attachment a single stock plow is held as steady as theordinary turning plow, and the link 24 may be ad justed to allow theplow to run deep or shallow as may be required.

The shoe 20 operates as a land side and is the only part subjected towear and can be readily renewed without discarding the other parts.

The preferred embodiment of the invention is disclosed in the drawingsand set forth in the specification, but it will be understood that anymodifications within the scope of the claim may be made in theconstruction without departing from the principle or" the invention orsacrificing any of 1 its advantages.
